I am using Trisquel 7.0 LTS and I've used file-roller and xarchiver GUI Applications but they (GUI) have not features for compression ratio like: No-compression (store), Fast, Normal, Ultra etc. (such like present in peazip & 7zip GUI).

I want to use only 'free/libre' software. So, Suggest me good GUI (GTK+ frontend) Application with such feature.

If Peazip works, why not use that? It seems to be libre.

Looks like it's not free, their FAQ states that

If you don't want non open source software in your system, like unrar.so (which brings specific license restrictions about reverse engineering) or unace binary (closed source, royalty free), you simply need to delete them from /res/ path in program's folder.

I would personally consider it free, but with non-free stuff included.

Feel free to fork it, but then to stay competitive you would have to distribute it for all operating systems. PeaZip on Windows also recommends (proprietary) adware so it would be worth forking it.

By The Way Help me to choose from following Software (Because I actually don't know which is free and which is not)

That first one is proprietary. The other two (PeaZip and 7-Zip) are mostly libre, but come with some proprietary components.

As to why 7-Zip is only available on non-Windows systems as a command-line tool... I'm not sure, but I assume it's that something about the way the GUI is programmed makes it only work on Windows. p7zip is the command-line backend of 7-Zip.

Thank you. I am going for PeaZip. I've downloaded Deb which requires dependency 'libgmp3c2' which is not available in our repository.

So, I've just downloaded Portable and is working.

The 7-Zip GUI uses WxWidgets, it is available on non-Windows systems
too. Parabola has it.

Hm, that's interesting. I'm familiar with wxWidgets.

Could be that the 7-zip developers just didn't bother to write the GUI code so it would work on non-Windows systems. Maybe they're using absolute positioning instead of sizers, for example.
